You will be expanding our direct equipment procurement efforts.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.Responsibilities
- Collaborate with core teams to create electrical designs for new data center projects and major infrastructure upgrades, translating design concepts into project deliverables.
- Manage power system issues across concept design, detailed design, procurement, manufacturing, delivery and on-site installation, resolving issues with cross-functional and external teams.
- Generate comprehensive scopes of work for major infrastructure electrical equipment upgrades, partnering with internal teams to document and update configurations as projects progress.
- Serve as a key interface with the Global Commodities team, manufacturers, and global engineering teams to ensure the timely and successful delivery of electrical solutions for each project.
